At this point in time, there is no better job for Tommy Lloyd than @ArizonaMBB. If you don’t want to call the Wildcats a “blueblood,” that’s fine. But he’s not leaving for North Carolina or the other “blue bloods” that could open next year. Just spend a basketball weekend in Tucson to understand that.

Duke fans right now

OH MY GOODNESS 😱 UCONN LEADSSSS UNBELIEVABLE #MarchMadness

OMG!!! UConn!!!

Next Saturday's Final Four matchup between Arizona and Michigan features two teams that have won all four tournament games by double digits. In the entire 64-team era (since 1985), that's only happened once before in a national semifinal — 1988, Arizona vs. Oklahoma.

FIVE, Final Fours.

🐻 DOWN!!!! FINAL 4️⃣ BOUND @ArizonaMBB 🫡

is it dusty in here or just us

Thank you Tommy Lloyd for everything you’ve done for @ArizonaMBB !! Whatever you need, whoever you need gone etc….. you have an entire community behind you 🫡 #BacktheA

Stop shooting threes! Attack!!!

HUGE shot by ADO. Let’s go!!

The amount of 2nd chance opportunities Purdue is getting is ridiculous. Need to rebound!

Arizona needs to push the pace and do a better job of defending Braden Smith.

On Saturday, Arizona will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 2001 under Lute Olson. The same day, Iowa will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 1980, when it was coached by Lute Olson.

Arizona romps Arkansas 109-88. It's: —Most points ever allowed by a Calipari team in NCAAT —2nd-best FG pct (63.7%) in a S16 game since 2000 —First team EVER w/ 60+ FG%/60+ 3PT%/30+ FT made in NCAAT game —First time since '07 Florida six guys had 12+ pts in NCAAT game MACHINE.

Arizona AD Desiree Reed-Francois tells me the following regarding Tommy Lloyd’s future with the Wildcats: “Tommy has done a phenomenal job. He’s one of the best coaches in America. We have been engaged with his representatives about a new contract since before the start of the NCAA Tournament. Those discussions will continue and it is our goal that he retires as a Wildcat.”

Congratulations to the entire high-end college head coaching market getting raises over the coming days due to North Carolina opening.

Arizona State is hiring Saint Mary’s head coach Randy Bennett, source told @thefieldof68. Bennett, 63, is from the Phoenix area and has long been intrigued by the job. Bennett took over in Moraga in 2001, and has built the program into one of the best on the west coast. Bennett has gone to the NCAA tourney 12 times, including each of the past five years, and has won at least a share of the WCC regular-season title each of the past four years. Arizona State parted ways with Bobby Hurley earlier this month after 11 seasons at the helm.

That was a good reality test. If Utah State was even just an average shooting team, the result would have been different. Teams rarely sleepwalk through a game in the tournament come round of 32 and get away with it, which makes Arizona special. Survive and advance.

Iowa!!!!
